NEW YORK! The most exciting destination on our US itinerary for summer…for my boys especially as it was their first trip to the Big Apple City! We landed in New Jersey (Newark airport) midnight on Thursday after a direct 15 hour flight from Hong Kong flying over the Pacific. A great range of in-flight movies… {Read More}

I went there thinking ‘Oh it’s just yoga…easy-peasy!’ After having done strenuous hikes, distance running and innumerable exhausting boot camps, when I was invited to try out a yoga session at Flex Studios, One Island South, I said “Sure why not?” After all isn’t yoga just simple stretching? And I had been having a lower… {Read More}

It’s the middle of June. Less than two weeks to go for the school break! Last month of the last term already? It’s unbelievable how time just flies, without a care, without a thought about those who might want to hang in there for some more time. Savour those special days, those moments that made the… {Read More}

So here we are…at the very end of our Easter holiday…having had a great workout session at the gym this morning to awaken those sluggish muscles, followed by a sumptuous breakfast from the wonderful buffet spread, soaking in the warm service provided by the resort staff who seem to genuinely mean when they say a “Good Morning”… {Read More}

As a young mother I used to wonder what would it be like to have my child all grown up. What would he look like, how would he behave? What would he grow up to be? Doctor, lawyer, astronaut or a football star? Watching my baby wake up just then, rolling his head from side to side… {Read More}

Turned out for the best though for… {Read More}

So it’s that time of the year once again when along with the fairy lights, decorated trees and lit up stores you will see a sudden surge in the number of people thronging the streets, who at the outset may look just fine but walk a little closer and you are certain to see the newly formed… {Read More}

It was raining cats and dogs as my son and I huddled under one umbrella, managing to put one foot in front of the other as the strong wind and heavy rain lashed at us making us half-fly half-walk as we struggled to get to our Wednesday evening class at Faust, Sheung Wan. We reached… {Read More}

This must be my third post about Ocean Park and yet I am so excited to talk about it once again! I think the excitement flows from my kids to me and vice versa. First it was all about the park, the playground, the rides, the aquarium, now its about feeling all “grown-up,” meeting height restrictions for bigger, better… {Read More}

There are so many ways in which I would like to start this post. Talk about beauty, experience, age, emotions, life, colour. Grey colour? Is it even a colour or merely a shade? Does it represent uncertainty or indifference, age or maturity, boredum or modesty? Not a favourite colour for many, certainly not mine and yet why… {Read More}
